[Verse 1]
Be my guard just for tonight
That is all I'm asking for
Take me under your wing
Oh, I can't make it anymore
Oh, I am so full of fear (so full of fear, full of fear)
May you read a book to me
And when the shadows grow (when the shadows grow)
Won't you stay with me?
[Chorus]
Will you be my guard tonight?
That is all I'm asking for
Will you be my guard tonight?
That is all I need to know
[Verse 2]
Be my guard beside my bed
That is all I need to know
Would you please hold my hand? (Would you please hold my hand, hold my hand?)
Don't you ever let it go
All the wonders of the world (All the wonders of the world, of the world)
For a little second more
Oh, I can't speak, but can't you see
It's your touch I'm crying for? (Crying for, crying for?)
[Chorus]
Will you be my guard tonight?
That is all I'm asking for (asking for)
Will you be my guard tonight? (Will you be my guard tonight?)
That is all I need to know
[Bridge]
That is all I'm asking for
That is all I need to know
That is all I'm asking for (asking for, asking for, asking for, asking for, asking for, asking for, asking for, asking for, asking for, asking for, asking for, asking for, asking for)
[Verse 3]
Be my guard just until dawn
When I can hear the birds again
I'm as helpless as can be
Will you guard my little flame? (My little flame, my little flame)
If we never meet again
You shall always keep in mind
That you were my guard tonight (guard tonight, guard tonight)
That you were my guard tonight
[Chorus]
Will you be my guard tonight?
That is all I'm asking for (asking for)
Will you be my guard tonight? (Will you be my guard tonight?)
That is all I need to know
[Chorus]
Will you be my guard tonight?
That is all I'm asking for
Will you be my guard tonight?
That is all I need to know
[Outro]
That is all I need to know
That is all I need to know
That is all I need to know
That is all I need to know
